IT LOOKS FANTASTIC! I had planned to give mine away as well, but have become so proud of it and can't bear to part with it anymore (just as soon as I finish the quilting & binding) ... thanks so much for doing this ... it's been a LOT of fun! :)

I understand you are attached to this quilt. It’s so wonderful and it was so much fun making the blocks with all participants. You put so much effort in making the quilt-a-long a huge success! Your grandmother will love it, I’m sure! She will feel this quilt is made with special love.

Oh, your quilt is just beautiful. I kept up with you until time to cut all the little pieces!! Hope to get back to it soon. Your grandmother will love the quilt and be so proud of her granddaughter. Thank you so much for all the time you spent on putting the Quilt-a-long together. You have many followers!! Lois

I can see why you are feeling attached to this quilt. It is the sweetest quilt ever! It is my favorite that you have shown us so far. Your gram is going to be so amazed and pleased with this gift from your heart. PS: How bout I ship my quilts to your for quilting? Either that or you come teach me how when you head back to MN this summer!! :)

Your finished quilt inspired me to do blocks 4-8 tonight. I just found your blog last week, so I'm way behind, but hope to have all of the blocks done in the next couple of days. Your grandma is a very lucky lady. I know she'll love it!

Amanda Jean,This quilt turned out so beautifully, and I know every stitch is wrapped in love.

This quilt will be a wonderful heirloom and it is so special that your heirlooms are going backwards, from grand daughter, to grand mother.

My mom made quilts for both of her grandmothers. She got both of them back many years later as her grandmother's passed away, they are more special to her now than they ever would have been had she kept them.

Amanda, I just love your blog. You do such nice work with your quilts. I love your colours and combinations - not really the traditional quilty look.

I've been reading on different blogs lately about a ironing board challenge. Might I suggest a challenge to see everyone's favourite quilt label? I'm a relatively new quilter, and I think I should start labelling my quilts. But where to start? I'd love some inspiration! I'd do a challenge myself, but I don't have a quilt blog...yet!

Hi Amanda,Thank you so much for sharing! I love your tutorials and am learning fast. I'm from Karachi, Pakistan, so I can't get the jelly rolls and have to search for nice materials for my quilts. I mostly hand-piece and hand quilt mine... haven't yet learned to machine quilt although I do have a Singer Discmatic sewing machine. I love reading all your news. Thank you once again for making things so simple and easy to follow. Merlyn

I'm doing this quilt-a-long 4 years too late!! I'm loving it though and your whole blog has taught me so much! I'm starting a new blog and have put a link to your blog. I hope that's ok! Thanks, Lucy xx
